About MAAGE
The Midwest Alliance for Applied Genomic Epidemiology is a collaborative initiative dedicated to protecting our public health through innovative genomic surveillance tools to enhance disease prevention and response.
Our Mission
The Midwest Alliance for Applied Genomic Epidemiology is a collaboration of Argonne National Laboratory, the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the University of Illinois. Our mission is to develop a comprehensive genomic surveillance and epidemiology platform, empowering state and local public health agencies to detect and monitor the spread of infectious diseases with enhanced sensitivity.
We are committed to providing educational resources to equip the public health and healthcare communities with the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate this platform into their daily operations.
